Propofol infusion versus intermittent meperidine and midazolam injection for conscious sedation in ERCP.

Background And Aim: ERCP generally requires longer time than standard endoscopy. Only few studies have shown benefit of intermittent propofol over conventional sedation. This study was conducted to compare satisfaction, recovery score, and recovery/safety profiles for ERCP sedation between continuous infusion of propofol and conventional sedation.
